me, and I like it, I give you my word as a gentleman that I will pay you what you ask.

21. The [Union senior] officers rode past the
Confederates smugly without any sign of
recognition except by one. When General

held it over his head until he passed the last
man of that living funeral cortege. He was the
only officer in that whole train who recognised
us as being on the face of the earth.*
